SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT ASKED FOR.
WHAT AN AUSTRALIAN SAYS. NO SEAL INTERVIEW. LONDON, 27th July. An Australian in London states that he was a, member of a. party breakfasting when Mr. W. T. Stead, editor of the Review of Reviews, called on Mr. Fieher. _ Mr. Fisher did not leave- to be interviewed, and had no idea, that, Mr. Stead was upon that earand, but supposed him merely desirous to make the acquaintance of a well-known Englishman. When Mr, Fisher returned to the table he wad certainly unaware that he had been in« terviewed , Australian states that he vecog' niscs in several phrases in the interview fragments of remarks made to the members of the party during Jtfr. Stead's presence, including the remark that if a Dominion did not want to bo involved in a British war it could declare its independence. But the meaning given to this statement in the interview was inconsistent wittt all Mr. Fisher's authentic public and private utterances, and it would be fair to follow Mr, Deakin's admirable example, and suspend judgment until Mr. Fisher can speak for himself.
